Pours out like lemonade with no haze to it with not much head not what I expected,strong nose of coriander and smoke.Taste is pretty spicey with a light not of the caracao orange with wheaty aftertaste that was pretty nice.Well not on par with some Belgian wittes it is nice on a hot day like today.

This beer was not particularly heady, nor was it very aromatic. After a sip, I did notice a nice little hint of ginger, but apart from that it's not a particulary complex white beer. It does go down smooth, however, without that acrid aftertaste that poorly crafted whites can have.

Hazy golden straw pour with little head retention. Smell is somewhat muted with wheat and a little bit of spice on the nose. Taste is a mostly orange and a little coriander. Decent wheat taste-rounds out the mouthfeel. Not super crisp but has decent carbonation. Low on hop flavor as expected. A good beer for a hot day and I could see a couple goingdoing easy but not the best of the style.

S: The orange peel is there with other citrus
a little yeast, but the coriander and spice
is lost.

T: The orange is much more present than other
whites who have suggested an orange ingred-
ient. The spice and coriander is lacking
in favor of the stronger orange notes I
suspect.

M/D: This is a good summer brew that is diff-
erent from the usual white but not com-
pletely successful in its attempts at
uniqueness. The mouthfeel is a little
thin and a tad flat though I'm not sure
that due to the style these "weaknesses"
were all that weak.

T: This is a really refreshing beer for me. It's crisp and finishes quite nicely. While there isn't a whole lot of distinctive flavor, it's one of those beers that would really be good in numbers at a BBQ.

M: The rascal is highly carbonated, but I think it works here.

O: This isn't a groundbreaking beer, but it is refreshing and one that I wouldn't mind keeping on hand in the future.

The White Rascal pours a hazy, very light yellow-white. It has a decent sized white head that has good retention and some lacing.

The aroma is musty and yeasty with some slight citrus notes (orange peel) and some spiciness.

The taste is yeasty and spicy (corriander) with more of the citrus (lemon and orange) coming out and some sweetish malts which helps balance it nicely. It's a little on the thin side. It has a nice, crisp finish and is very easy-drinking.

It has a bright white head on top of pale and hazy golden body. The head fades to thin layer of slick foam that only makes a little slick lacing. The aroma is somewhere between a Belgian White and a German Hefeweizen. I get notes of banana and clove as Band-Aid like estery yeast. The flavor is the same as the aroma with a dry mellow hop finish.
